Ways to Make Games Shorter
-
Since SDS is so wants to make games shorter, yet is choosing their worst possible option, eliminating the windup, Ill give them some suggestions that will make the game shorter, decrease toxic play, and not interfere with the quality of play.

There is no reason that the cutscenes between innings, batter walkups, and the game introduction should take so long. If you have an opponent that refuses to skip these things, it is so annoying and can add about 5-10 minutes to overall game time. The game intro should end after the stat screen, and inning cutscenes and hitter walkups should take more than 5 seconds. Also, make it so one person can skip it, not requiring both people to skip. - Replays
I genuinely have no idea why these are still in online play. They slow the game down, theyre toxic, and serve absolutely no purpose. Just get rid of them. - Pitch Clock
Reduce the pitch clock to 10 seconds in online play, this would speed the game up so much against slow pitchers. Also make it so that after multiple pitch clock violations, the game is called due to griefing.
These changes would work and would speed up games just as much as pitching from the stretch only, except these increase the quality of play, while stretch only decreases it

I don’t see why they don’t just have a switch in the settings that you can turn on or off depending on what you prefer. I don’t really care all that much, but it seems like it’s important to a huge chunk of the player base. I wouldn’t be surprised if they undo that with an update at some point.

Reducing the pitch clock to 10 seconds isnt gonna speed up Satchel Paiges windup.
